Not out partying, lol, but I was a nurse who had to take call, and also flew with our hospital helicopter-seems I always got a LONG flight right before shift change, and would have to come home to a deserted house. My husband and I talked about getting an alarm here, and were still undecided. UNTIL TODAY! Friends of ours are here who have been our next door neighbors for 15 years. We were out with them and the Villages agent. Our house is basically completed, and we close in Dec, so since it is done, all the doors are locked. They wanted to see our house, so we asked the agent(he sold us our house) if he had a key to get into our house---AND HE DID. So not only does who knows how many workers have access (or had) to our house, but apparently all 200-300 of the TV agents!!!!!! My husband says that even if we change the tumblers(?) on the lock, since it is a master lock, people can still get access. Anybody have any comments, or knowledge of this large number of people who have or might have access to our house????

New construction locks are set to be accessible to a number of individuals, including workers and agents. After you close on the house (usually within hours after closing), you will do a walk through with the builder. At that point, he will adjust your locks so only your keys will work. Remember, it's not really your home until after closing.
